GÜRSEL TEKIN'S FIRST STATEMENT

"All your questions will be answered."

I wish for the public to listen to us carefully. Today, I and my friends in the delegation are not part of this problem that has been experienced until today. I will go even further. When the congress took place that day, as a Gürsel Tekin who was not a delegate, I warned our friends who were saying harsh words to each other. I said, don't do it. You will look each other in the face tomorrow. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, the problem between the parties, a problem that has been going on for 1.5 years, has fallen into the corridors of the courthouse.

The court made a decision. Those who complained are CHP members, the parties are CHP members... The friends who proposed us are also CHP members. We are not trustees or anything like that. The trustee is in Esenyurt, in Şişli... From the very first day, I and my friends have established all possible contacts. What is our duty? Our duty now is to resolve the injustice suffered by both the delegates and our current provincial administrators by sitting down as soon as possible. But strangely enough, even though we haven't made a sound for 6 days, we only said, "Let's go to the father's hearth hand in hand and solve all these problems."

(At that moment, a water bottle was thrown. Gürsel Tekin said, "It doesn't matter at all, let them shoot bullets if they want.")

Nothing can stop us. Do not worry at all. The members of the Republican People's Party will not have a reaction against me. I know who they all are. Do not worry at all. Now, all kinds of our diplomatic negotiations have continued to resolve all these problems, to resolve the difficulties. They are continuing. At the end of the day, we and our friends will make every effort to ensure that the problems our party has suffered in the courthouse corridors end as soon as possible. None of our friends have any objection to our impartiality. And besides, as the saying goes, what we have done is the guarantee of what we will do.

"NO ONE SHOULD PANIC"

We have not alienated any of our friends within the party. We did not divide them as this side or that side. But unfortunately, we have reached such a situation that in the coming days, we will make every effort to ensure that our party can preserve its corporate identity and get out of the courthouse corridors as soon as possible. No one should panic. We are not trustees. We are not something in the nature of a trustee that has usurped municipalities. I would have liked to see this power, this excitement of our friends when the trustee was coming to Esenyurt and Şişli. But apparently, they only had the power to deal with us. I thank them too. They can use their most democratic rights.

RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION "WILL YOU ENTER THE PARTY?"

My brother, of course, this is our father's hearth, so what do you mean by 'will you enter'? We could have entered 6-7 days ago from the very first day. We were in search of solving the problems and difficulties with our friends. Therefore, no one should worry. We are in contact with our friends. We will solve this problem as soon as possible.

Tekin responded to the question, "You have been in the Republican People's Party since you were a child. And you have undertaken duties at very different points. Today there is a legal decision. And you say this is the father's hearth and you have come to this point today. But right now, in the place you call the father's hearth, some people inside are hurling all kinds of insults and showing a great reaction against you here. Where does this lead the Republican People's Party?" as follows:

My duty here, the duty of my friends, is not to fall for provocation. We will have very important efforts to preserve the corporate identity of the father's hearth. Of course, in the coming days, we also have a couple of words to say. Look, more than at any time in our history, I and my friends, including our families, children, spouses, and even our sisters in the village, have been threatened. We know all of this. But we want to solve this problem with patience. Some may want to tear the Republican People's Party apart. Some may want to because they have no labor in the Republican People's Party. We have sweat. We will make very serious efforts to preserve the unity and integrity of the Republican People's Party. No Republican People's Party member friend of ours will have the slightest doubt or concern about our impartiality. Sir. Tomorrow, whenever our Provincial Chairman Özgür Özel wishes, we will sit down. We will talk about what the difficulties and problems are all together and solve them.

Tekin gave the following answer to the question, "Did you meet with Kılıçdaroğlu?":

* From the very first day, I said to my Chairman Özgür Özel, I want to come and visit you. Then, since I was going, I said let me also visit my former chairman, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu. I left a note for both Mr. Özgür Özel's private secretary and Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu's private secretary. Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu's private secretary returned to me. And I told him that I would come according to Mr. Özgür Özel's schedule. Since there was no return from Mr. Özgür Özel, I did not feel the need to go to Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu either.

"NONE OF THOSE SHOUTING HERE ARE CHP MEMBERS"

I can tell you this, I swear on my honor that not one of those shouting is a CHP member. Look, not one of them is a CHP member. I swear, we are not the reason for this intensity. And because of this, for 7-8 days, we have been saying, 'Careful, brother,' from the very beginning. Let's stand side by side while going to the father's hearth. Let's enter arm in arm. Our understanding of solving the problems and difficulties together is at the same point. It continues at that point.

I have never seen anything like this in my life... But I also say this. We are people who live with our honor and dignity. Let everyone know that I will not bow down to anyone. I welcome the citizens' reactions. But I will certainly settle scores through legal channels with those who have stood by our side for 40 years, who know us, and who are now insulting us on social media and elsewhere.

To the question, "Özgür Çelik is here right now. Will you meet with him? Because he stated that he will remain in his post," Tekin replied:

This building, this father's hearth, is enough for Özgür Çelik, it is enough for me, it is enough for all of us. We did not come here to kick someone out, to beat someone, to push someone aside. My dear brother. My dear Republican People's Party administrators, I beg you. I am begging you. Look, you called us trustees here and there, you said this, you said that, you said a lot of things. Big group chairmen, this and that. It is written in the decision there. We are the call committee. The trustee is in our municipalities. So, I wish you had shown the reaction you showed us today to our municipalities back then. Legally, our duty is to solve these problems. We did not come to create problems. Don't solve the problems, children. Let them throw it, whatever. We came to solve the problems.

I can sincerely tell you this about most of these friends. Look, 40-50 year CHP members, 30 year CHP members. We meet with people in our family every day. Those who carry the Republican People's Party identity, I mean, of course, there may be friends who joined the party later. But in the Republican People's Party culture, such selling out... We have no value. We have no monetary value. We spent our lives fighting against tender gangs, zoning gangs. So, our reference is the search engine. When you enter the search engine, you will see that we will overcome all these problems. No one should worry.

Trustee Gürsel Tekin returned to his vehicle after making a statement in front of the CHP İstanbul Provincial Headquarters.
